Benghazi – The Office of the Illegal Immigration Control Apparatus in the Al-Sahel – Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar Municipality carried out an extensive security campaign, resulting in the apprehension of nine illegal immigrants of various nationalities, including individuals wanted by the law.

Investigations conducted with them revealed the presence of a person holding Chadian nationality. Photos found on his mobile phone documented him wearing military attire and in possession of a military weapon. This prompted the competent authorities to take additional security measures against him, given the seriousness of the information associated with him.

After completing the initial procedures with the detainees, they were transferred to the Qanfouda shelter center to complete the legal and health procedures in accordance with the regulations governing the handling of illegal immigrants.

The Office of the Illegal Immigration Control Apparatus – Al-Sahel confirmed that security operations continue uninterrupted, through intensifying day and night security patrols, to regulate residency statuses and curb the phenomenon of illegal immigration. This contributes to enhancing security and stability within the municipality and its suburbs, in full coordination with the relevant security and military authorities.

Benghazi

Benghazi is a major port city on the Mediterranean coast of Libya, historically serving as a key economic and cultural hub for the eastern region of Cyrenaica. Founded as the ancient Greek colony of Euesperides in the 6th century BC, it later flourished under Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman rule. In modern history, it played a significant role in the 2011 Libyan Revolution and has faced considerable conflict and rebuilding efforts since.

Al-Sahel

“Al-Sahel” is a general Arabic term meaning “the coast” or “coastal region,” so it refers to many coastal areas across the Arab world. Without a specific country, its history is broad, but such regions have historically been vital for trade, fishing, and cultural exchange. For example, Egypt’s Sahel (North Coast) is a major modern resort area, while historically, coastal zones like it served as gateways for Mediterranean civilizations.

Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar Municipality

Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar Municipality is a key administrative region in northeastern Libya, encompassing the forested highlands of the Green Mountain (Jabal al Akhdar). Historically, this area was significant in antiquity as part of the Greek Pentapolis and later for its role in Libya’s 20th-century resistance against Italian colonization. Today, it is known for its unique Mediterranean climate, agriculture, and archaeological sites like the ancient city of Cyrene.

The Qanfouda shelter center is a temporary humanitarian facility located in the Gaza Strip, established to provide refuge for Palestinian civilians displaced by conflict.
